When I sit down at my workbench — usually with a fresh cup of coffee and a pencil sketch that’s already been lived in a little — I’m thinking about more than just metal and stone. I’m thinking about the way jewelry becomes a part of us. How a single piece can carry a memory, a milestone, or a sense of power that’s uniquely our own.
I also think of my own journey — Even long before becoming a jewelry designer, I was always donning my fingers in metal. I think subconsciously, I somehow felt more powerful and confident when I was covered in rings. I remember buying my first chunky silver ring when I was just 18 while I was on spring break in Cancun, Mexico. It was a Mayan Sun Dial that I “splurged” on, spending $40 USD at a market. I was delighted with my purchase!. Even as a high schooler, I was always working on weekends to make ends meet, as money was really tight at home. Even as a teenager, I knew that I was investing in myself. To this day, that ring reminds me of my winding journey and how my medium became metal. It’s been a wild ride to say the very least.
That’s always been the heart of CMD — creating everyday armor that reminds us who we are. Jewelry that feels substantial and intentional, but never too precious to live in.
This week, I’m thrilled to introduce several new Special Occasion Rings and Stack Sets — designs that bridge the two beautifully. These new stacks were born out of years of custom work, one-of-a-kind heirlooms, and conversations with clients who wanted pieces that felt like them — distinctive, versatile, and quietly powerful.
Keep in mind, if you are stashing some family diamonds and LOVE these designs but would like to recycle your diamonds into this work, shoot me a message. It would be an absolute honor to give your diamonds new life.
The Muse Ring Set — For the one who inspires and reinvents. A study in contrast and creativity, this set balances polish with play.
The Matriarch Ring Set — A powerful statement of presence and grace. Strong lines, timeless form, and a touch of sparkle that commands quiet respect.
The Evermore Ring Set — Elegant, enduring, and deeply symbolic. This one speaks to commitment, continuity, and the stories that never end.
The Empress Ring Set — A luminous balance of strength and softness. This design radiates confidence — the kind that doesn’t need to shout.
The Amoré Ring Set — A love letter to modern romance — pure, golden, and deeply felt.
The Galaxy Ring — This band twinkles with intention — a quiet constellation for your hand.
The Headliner Ring — Bold, commanding, impossible to ignore. Designed for those ready to take center stage.
And the best part? There’s more to come.
Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, designing an heirloom, or building your first CMD stack, I’d love to help you find your perfect combination. My virtual and in-person appointments are where the magic really happens. In your one-on-one session with me, we’ll talk about your story, your personal style, and what pieces make you feel like you.
Together, we can create a custom Dream Stack that evolves with you — one that you can wear every day, through every season of life.
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to design something special… this is it.
Jewelry should move with you — from morning coffee to milestone moments. That’s what these new stacks are all about. Each one is a reminder that beauty and strength don’t need to be saved for later.
Because you are the occasion!

I love seeing CMD jewelry out in the wild. When I first started making jewelry back in my tiny Hayes Valley apartment in San Francisco, I wasn't interested in creating pieces that only came out for special occasions. I wanted to make jewelry that became part of people's everyday lives. The kind of ring you absentmindedly twist while you're thinking or having [...]
One of the questions I get most often during Reconstruction consultations is: “Will my exact gold be melted down and turned directly into my new piece?” It’s a completely understandable question, especially because reconstruction work is so personal. People are often bringing in wedding rings, inherited [...]
There is something worth noticing about the world we live in now. We expect almost everything to happen immediately. We can order dinner with a few taps on our phones, have groceries delivered to our front door and buy just about anything online without ever leaving the couch. Convenience has become [...]
